If you ain't comin to these Bedford shoots you're nuts. I tell you what, you're just nuts. If you don't know chilidog or Bomber or Loctite you're nuts. You're just nuts. ++)

(The clays don't get very far past Riflemen! ;))
If the Appleseed is trying to get people to re-establish their connection with marksmanship and civic responsibility, and find in themselves the motivation for self-discovery, then these guys ARE Appleseed. It is like they stamp their feet and shooters spring up from the very earth. At their private range day today, on New Year's Day, they probably had 25 or 30 shooters. Half or better were Riflemen. The other half got flogged to near insanity by incessant 7th Stepping. Who were the safest shooters? Who were the best shooters? I shouldn't have to tell you. O0
Look. I don't know how else to cut it. These guys are Patriots, Real Patriots. They are leaders, fine men others follow due to the magnitude of their character and spirit not the depth of their base influences. They deserve every ounce of our support and efforts. If you aren't developing a relationship with the Bedford Contingent you're nuts.

So sayeth SenatusPopulusQueRomanum
I am so glad everyone came! I had a blast too! This is the reason we have these shoots to see guys bring their kids and have fun together like Donny, his daughter Danielle and his boy D.J. or Sam and Alan Fritch or Phil and Caleb Thorne or Troy and Bryce Williams. Here is an event that all these people can come to and have a great time at for the cost of a 100 rounds of ammo! Thanks to Everybody who helped clean up and Thank you Appleseed for making our range safer and populated with more real marksmen. Hope to see you all at the February winterseed Shoot!

Shooting is like golfing; you don't get better by staying home! I got an opportunity to make some new friends yesterday. Thanks Shanon for continuing to have these events.
God Bless

(if a little is good, don't it make sense that a lot would be great.........not always)
SPQR is dead on.
The folks down at the bomb range are good people. If you have not got down there to shoot yet, get there.
If nothing else, make a point to stop by the table on saturday at the upcoming 1500 and at least meet these guys.
Chilidog and company are really going above and beyond for their people. This is the America I want to pass down to my progeny.
Gawd, that looks like fun!!! :---
I didn't add any group shots or anything. You should see chilidog standing up on the back of a trailer pitching Appleseed to 30 guys or so on a balls cold New Year's afternoon in biting wind with a smile on his face the size of a watermelon. It is a vision in Patriotism. The legacy of Isaac Davis is both secure and flourishing. Let me PM chilidog and see if it is okay to post a couple more pictures. There are only a handful of spots left for the Feb Winterseed and I want to wet the appetite for the kind of fun people can have at the bomb range.
I cannot wait to meet you all!
Yea no doubt. I've been saying that all along.

Any day you spend on the line standing next to your brother feeding hot lead into the last gift your father ever gave you is...well, it depends on whether or not TBE showered.

It ain't a Bedford shoot without Oreo makin noise. Being a Rifleman is like being a Jedi, size matters not.

Some people showed up dressed like bums and some people understood that sporting clays is a gentleman's sport and dressed accordingly. I'm just sayin'.

Our gracious host and his very fine fouling piece. Half the weight, half the recoil and twice the balance. Its a dandy.
When is this February thing happenin'?
